Wrong Number

The Savage 99RS in the '30's came with a Lyman 30-1/2 SA.


It's windage adjustable.

The Lyman sight I've been calling a 30-1/2 isn't.  It's a Lyman so it will be No. (number) and (letter).

Being for a Savage 99 it'll have the Suffix SA, but the number...

It appears to be a No. 2A SA.  It was made until 1955 and is thus perfectly vintage for my 99EG!  HUZZAH!  The No. 1 SA would not have threads in the aperture.


If only there was a book about these things one could use to look it up.

This might be it.  But I don't know if it is.  $75 is a lot of dough for such a triviality, but the question keeps coming up for me.
